Happy International Women’s Day: Women of the OSS

by Cieslafdn | Mar 8, 2018 | Spy

Happy International Women’s Day! Today we celebrate the brave and brilliant female figures of the past – which like Moe Berg served in the O.S.S. We’d like to honor in particular the American Intelligence legend Elizabeth P. McIntosh. McIntosh’s memoir “Sisterhood of Spies” highlights her remarkable past as an O.S.S. spy as well as shares the accounts of the under-known troupe of international female combatants such as Virginia Hall (nick-named the “The Limping Lady” because of her wooden leg) or Betty Lussier, known for her double-agent network in France.
